The Savannah Disputation

By Evan Smith

Two Catholic sisters find themselves in a verbal smackdown with a door-to-door evangelist in their own home. They call their parish priest to help, but he is not eager to lead a new crusade against the young woman. As the theological debate unfolds, temperaments clash, and religious beliefs are revealed to be more about personal choices in a confusing world. Funny, emotional, The Savannah Disputation is as much about organized religion, faith, morals as it is about four people trying to make sense of a scary and complicated world.

A growing part of American society, stemming from the ethos of our current political leadership, eschews globalism in favor of isolation.As American artists we feel it is our duty to hold together the fibers of our interconnectedness. Our American problem of gun violence should not define us to the rest of the world.The importance of exporting our artistic works to European audiences is to demonstrate that we acknowledge the precarious fallibility of all our shared human endeavors.We all are consequences of an individual society’s trauma.
